   An act relating to the payment of claims against the State of
California, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring the
urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1110, Committee on Budget.  Claims against the state:
appropriation.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state.  Existing statute establishes procedures for making that
reimbursement and authorizes the Legislature to suspend a mandated
program by not funding it in the State Budget for any fiscal year.
   Existing law also requires the Controller, in the event that there
are insufficient revenues to fund all of the state-mandated claims
approved by the Controller, to report immediately this deficiency to
the Legislature for additional appropriation, and requires that any
additional appropriation include an amount necessary to reimburse any
interest due to eligible claimants.
   This bill would appropriate $149,041,136 from the General Fund and
the State Transportation Fund to the Controller.  From the General
Fund, $106,089,000 would be allocated for the payment of claims by
local agencies and school districts for reimbursement of
state-mandated local costs, $5,000,000 would be allocated to provide
reimbursement to local agencies of costs incurred for the period of
July 1, 1998, through August 20, 1998, for those state-mandated local
programs that were not suspended pursuant to statute for this time
period, and $37,385,136 would be allocated to pay for other specified
prior year deficiencies, including interest.  From the State Highway
Account in the State Transportation Fund, $567,000 would be
allocated for reimbursement of other state-mandated local costs.
  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.
